PERSONALIZATION MATURITY MODEL
No organization can jump from
zero to a fully-automated, machine
learning system that dynamically
determines next best actions in
the moment.
We use a maturity model to assess
your current state, understand where
you want to be, and then help build
a crawl-walk-run roadmap to get
you there.
HOW DO WE USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
For exploratory analysis, to…
– inform design and focus testing
– surface and refine personas
– understand journeys and cross-channel behavior
To drive activation – segment audiences and predict behaviors to…
– provide personalized content in digital experiences
– reach new audiences and influence existing audiences through
marketing and advertising

AI FOR EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS
– Exploratory analysis with AI
requires some foundation
of Measurement & Analysis
and Customer Profiles
– It further enables Integrated
Channels and helps prioritize
Optimization & Testing and
Intelligent Content
AI MODELS IN ACTION
Audience Segmentation & Lookalikes
– Calculate segments for personalization and targeted
marketing
– Lookalikes aren’t just about matching demographics —
they’re users who are likely to behave similarly
– Target lookalikes to get new users from advertising,
and use models to classify new users from other sources
as data takes shape
AI MODELS IN ACTION
Conversion Prediction & Targeting
– Compete for maximum share for high
value audiences
– Reserve branded advertising budgets and
get right to the point with personalized content
for high value audiences
AI MODELS IN ACTION
Lifetime Value + Purchase Prediction
– Clothing retailer
– Identify high, mid, and low value segments
– Shift spending on advertising in different
ways across those segments to maximize
the value of advertising
AI IN ACTION
– Requires a degree of
Integrated Channels
and capabilities for
Optimization & Testing
– Further enables building
robust Customer Profiles
with additional data
on audiences
